An athletic mouth guard comprising an upper component a lower component and first and second joining components. The upper component has a central region and first and second opposing wing regions. These cooperate to define a channel-like configuration which is structurally configured to receive a plurality of teeth of an upper jaw. The lower component has similar structures which are configured to receive a plurality of teeth of a lower jaw. The first joining component is attached to the upper component and to the lower component along corresponding first opposing wing regions and the second joining component is attached to the upper component and to the lower component along corresponding second opposing wing regions. The joining components fix the portions of the wing regions to the respective first and second joining component, and to each other, in a spaced apart orientation, such that placement of the same in a mouth of a user directs a lower jaw of a mouth of a user to move forward relative to a position thereof in a habitual closure.
